are 45mm spacers SAFE??????

Looking at that picture you posted I cant possibly fathom why anyone would tell you that 45mm spacers are the way to go... Unless you told them you want your wheels to poke out an inch and a half past your fenders. Posting your actual wheel specs would help figure out how much of a spacer you actually need, if any.

they measured it and said 45mm would make it flush with the fenders

You can't measure it. You need at add your wheel specs into an online calculator and then add what it will be with the spacer. That'll tell you your poke. Then you can measure or figure out if it'll hit the fender or such. I highly doubt unless you have a wide body a 45mm will work!

i got my stuff done at a reputable tire shop suggested by guys on here and plenty others, they said they did something along the lines of jacking something up and they measured the space between the tire side wall and fender and said 45 mm would be perfect and still give me room to play around without rubbing

That's not a good way to do it. You need your offset and give it to us. It's really easy then!
